Woman's robe with peonies and shou medallions
The woman's robe is dark-colored with a floral pattern featuring peonies. It has a short, wide sleeve and a A-line silhouette that flares out slightly at the bottom. The robe has a round neckline and appears to fasten at the top with a center front closure. Two borders on either side of the sleeves are patterned with geometric designs. The robe's main design element consists of a repeating pattern of stylized flowers, specifically peonies, interspersed with medallions bearing a shou symbol. A border around the hem and cuffs features an intricate floral design, while the robe's body is framed by a decorative panel on either side with the same geometric motif as the sleeves.
